Ground-storey windows have segmental arches with patterned architraves, the whole set in a segmental-headed recess.

Upper-storey windows flat-headed and set in shallow flat-headed recesses; 3-paned sashes with margin panes. In front of ground storey a wooden trellised verandah (probably rebuilt in early C20); ogee profile roof with artificial shaped slates; floor of coloured patterned tiles. Upper-storey sill band with incised decoration matching ground-storey architraves. Deep, flat eaves cornices with brackets. Left side wall has a large, blind segmental headed panel in ground storey, now partly obscured by a C20 garage and with a small glazed door pierced in it. Wide oblong panel in upper storey, its lower left corner cut into by an inserted window sill band and eaves cornice as on front elevation. Rear (garden) elevation matches that at front, but with a window instead of the door. Service wing very plain, but left-hand end has 3-paned French windows with margin panes. Window above has 3-paned sashes with margin panes. Other windows seen to have mostly wood casements. INTERIOR: Stair hall has mahogany geometric staircase with narrow open well; this square, lightly moulded balusters, column-newels, shaped and carved stop ends, moulded nosings to treads. Left half of hall has stone paving slabs; moulded cornice; panelled shutters and 6-panelled doors, the shutters and some of the doors with a raised moulding; C19/C20 carved wood chimneypiece. The 3 main ground-floor rooms all have doors, shutters and cornices like those in the hall. Left front room has chimneypiece with imitation marbling; this was brought from another house in late C20. The 2 rear rooms have C19/C20 carved wood chimneypieces. Left-hand ground-floor wing room has early C19 moulded wood chimneypiece with small round panels in the top corners. Upper floor is almost completely fitted out with re-used raised-and-fielded, 1-fillet ovolo-moulded panelling, bolection-moulded door frames. The gate piers at the entrance to the drive are separately listed (qv). In 1850 this was Upton Lodge, the seat of GH Cutler Esq; iron ore was then being mined on his estate. In 1822 Lysons described it as the Manor of Upton, the property and residence of George Cutler Esq; it had been bought by Montague Booth Esq and in great part rebuilt. (White W: Directory of Devonshire: Sheffield: 1850-: 424; Lysons D & S: Magna Brittania, 6. Devonshire Pt 2: 1822-: 72).
